Re: Upgrade loses network card
Now that worked! great! thanks Derrick
When googling I did not notice a reference to kernel versions for the
module names that is why I was trying rtl8139. Didn't see 8139too. So
For future reference 2.4.x kernel: network card info:
D-Link System RTL8139 - driver mod name = 8139too
3com 3c905C-TX/TX-M [Tornado] - driver mod name = 3c59x

|Yes, '3c59x' is the module name for all 3c90x cards and 3c59x cards.
